Boil Water Notice Rural Water Systems 8 & 9 from April 1-November 16
The Town of Osoyoos has issued a BOIL WATER NOTICE for Domestic Water Customers served by Rural Water Systems 8 & 9 Effective April 1, 2017 until November 16, 2017. Please refer to the first three digits (008 or 009) of the account number on your annual utilities invoice, or click System 8 or System 9.
During this time period the water source is switched from groundwater (well source) to Osoyoos Lake surface water supply. While the Osoyoos Lake water is chlorinated, the current disinfection process is not adequate to protect from bacterial, viral and protozoan pathogens that may be present in the surface water source.
The Town of Osoyoos and Interior Health recommend individuals drink boiled water or a safe alternative until further notice.
Rural Water Systems 8 & 9 customers, water intended for drinking, washing ready to eat fruits and vegetables, making beverages, ice, or brushing teeth should be boiled for one minute.
Interior Health has been consulted, and the public will be notified when conditions change or water quality has improved. The Town of Osoyoos is in the process of separating irrigation lines from domestic lines to improve water quality. The public will be notified when these projects are completed.
Please notify tenants, visitors, or other building occupants of the boil water notice.
Thank you in advance for your patience.

Learn how to Identify, Prevent and Manage the Spread of Puncturevine
Landowners are encouraged to learn to identify puncturevine, and then understand how to control it.
Puncturevine (Tribulus terrestris) is a noxious weed found in the Okanagan-Similkameen region. It is an annual plant whose sharp spines can easily penetrate leather, skin, and can even puncture rubber tires. The puncturevine plant branches from its base and spreads along the ground to form dense mats. Its leaves are hairy and grow in pairs on opposite sides of the stem. The leaf is divided into 4 to 8 pairs of oval leaflets. The yellow flowers originate in the leaf axils. The fruit contains 5 sections that form tough, sharp and sometimes curving spines. Flowering and seed production typically occurs from mid-June to October.
It is important for landowners to be able to recognize puncturevine at an early stage of growth, as this is when it can most easily be controlled, as opposed to when it is large and seedpods have matured. Landowners can help by not providing an opportunity for weeds to grow, as well as by patrolling their properties in the summer and controlling any puncturevine they discover.
​Puncturevine should be carefully pulled and double bagged, then taken to the local landfill. Tipping fees are waived for invasive plant disposal at the Osoyoos & District Sanitary Landfill. Simply inform the scale clerk upon entering the landfill.
If you have found puncturevine on your property or boulevard, please click this link to the Weeds BC website for information on managing it.

RDOS Wildfire Bulletin – Regional Restrictions To Reduce Potential Wildfires
Posted August 4, 2017
Due to the current condition of high and extreme fire danger rating in our regional area, the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (RDOS) is implementing a TEMPORARY OPEN FIRE BAN.
Effective at noon on Friday, July 7th 2017 and until further notice, all open burning, including campfires and fireworks, will be prohibited in the RDOS. This ban is in conjunction with other local Fire Departments including Penticton, Summerland, Oliver, Osoyoos, Princeton, Hedley and the Penticton Indian Band.
This open burning ban is in effect to protect public safety and to limit the risk of person-caused wildfires. This ban does not restrict fires in cooking stoves using gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable campfire apparatus with a CSA or ULC rating (providing the flame height does not exceed 15 centimeters) but does restrict fires in portable wood burning fireplaces and campfires.
Campers and hikers and those recreating in remote areas are asked to use extreme caution.
Motorized vehicles, particularly all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and dirt bikes, can produce a significant amount of heat from their exhaust systems. This heat can be enough to spark a wildfire. Avoid operating any motorized vehicle in tall grass and vegetation when the weather is hot and dry. Even operating a lawn mower in dry grass conditions can ignite a fire.
Anyone found in violation of an open fire ban, including campfires, may be issued a ticket for up to $345.00 per incident. Anyone who causes a wildfire through arson or recklessness may also be fined up to $1 million, spend up to three years in prison and be held accountable for associated firefighting costs.
The RDOS thanks the public in advance for their cooperation in complying with this temporary fire ban. For further information, please contact Mark Woods, RDOS Community Services Manager, at (250) 490-4132 or info@rdos.bc.ca.

REMINDER Business Owners Regarding Sidewalk Maintenance
As summer is in full swing, it was felt this was a good time for a friendly reminder to business owners regarding sidewalk maintenance.
Under Traffic Bylaw No. 1256, 2009, it is the responsibility of the owner or occupier of any property in Town to maintain the streets abutting their property. For businesses, it is required that snow, ice, or rubbish from the sidewalk and footpaths bordering their property be cleared no later than 10:00 AM each day. Over the past few years the Town has added garbage containers and cigarette butt depositories throughout Main Street. These efforts have had minor effects on the number of butts dropped on the sidewalk. In the interest of all that use the sidewalks, please sweep your sidewalk each day before 10:00 AM in an effort to deal with the cigarette butts and other rubbish left on the sidewalks.
The Bylaw also does not allow any sign, sign board, or other portable device, or chattels on a sidewalk without a permit. If you require to have displays or sign boards in front of your business, please contact the Planning and Development Services Department for the necessary permit application.
The Town will be enforcing its bylaws with regard to the Traffic Bylaw and the Good Neighbour Bylaw and will be assessing fines where necessary.
Good Neighbour Bylaw No. 1277, 2011 addresses panhandling on the streets. We are aware of this being an issue and are taking this opportunity to let you know what the bylaw regulations are for panhandling. The Bylaw states:
“2.1 No person shall panhandle within 10 metres of:
a) An entrance to a bank, credit union or trust company;
b) An automated teller machine; or
c) The entrance to any liquor store.
2.2 No person shall panhandle in such a way as to impede the ability of a person entering or exiting a place of business.
2.3 No person shall sit or lie on a street for the purpose of panhandling.
2.4 No persons shall panhandle between the time of sunset on any day and sunrise on the day following.
2.5 No person shall continue to panhandle from a person, or follow a person, after that person has indicated a negative response to the panhandler.
2.6 No person shall panhandle or solicit business from an occupant of a vehicle, including a vehicle that is:
a) parked;
b) stopped at a traffic control sign or signal; or
c) stopped temporarily for the purpose of loading or unloading.”
If you have issues with panhandlers not following the bylaw please contact the town office immediately and we will have the bylaw enforcement officer attend.
It is in everyone’s best interest to keep the Town clean and inviting for residents and visitors so your cooperation in clearing the sidewalks and abiding by the permit regulations for signs and other chattels is appreciated. We in turn will do our part in ensuring that the downtown remains inviting to local and tourists.
All the best for a fabulous and prosperous summer!
